This battle really made Jiang Wei have no temper at all. He watched the fall of the Shu army's position, but he was powerless.

It cannot be said that the Shu army was not desperate enough, nor can it be said that the Shu army was not tenacious enough. They fought hard on the defense line of the Dao for a day and had fought hard enough and tenacious enough.

But unfortunately, the enemy was too strong, and the Shu army tried its best to resist the Wei army's attack. This kind of crushing strength really left Jiang Wei helpless.

The performance of the Shu army soldiers was already strong enough and impeccable. Jiang Wei had nothing to command. Even if he dispatched the army again, the result would be the same. There was nothing to change. The defeat of the Shu army was actually destined from the beginning.

The Lu River is neither deep nor too wide. Except for the slightly turbulent water flow, there is nothing worthy of the word "natural danger". The river crossing point chosen by the Wei army was originally a ferry on the Lu River. It was originally a hub connecting Chengdu and Nanzhong. It was a major defensive center from Shuzhong to Nanzhong. The Wei army wanted to go north with the fastest path and take the Nao Road was the first choice.

Jiang Weilai also regarded the Taoist as the key pass of the Wei army. If the Shu army could not defend the Taoist, then further north, the Wei army would enter the Chengdu plain. With the invincible attitude of the Wei cavalry, the Shu army had no possibility to prevent the Wei army from reaching the city of Chengdu.

Therefore, defending the Taoist silence was Jiang Wei's best choice. Unfortunately, the Shu army was slightly inferior to the Wei army in terms of strength. Even if the Shu army fought very hard, it would be irreversible.

Especially after the Wei army's floating bridge was successfully built, the Wei army cavalry could attack the other side along the floating bridge. After the Wei army cavalry joined the battle, the situation on the battlefield became a one-sided situation. After the Wei army cavalry landed, they were simply rushing around, as if they were entering a no-man's land, invincible, and the Shu army was defeated one after another, and no one could stop it.

Jiang Wei had experienced the power of the Wei cavalry as early as Longxi, so Jiang Wei chose to avoid plains as much as possible when fighting with the Wei army.

Only these terrains can restrain the Wei cavalry. Otherwise, once the Wei cavalry enters the plains, it will be like a tiger with wings and no force can stop them.

This time in the defense of the Jade Road, Jiang Wei was preparing to use the advantages of Lushui to block the Wei army's cavalry and prevent the Wei army's cavalry from being able to use their skills.

But it is obvious that Yang Hu is better at his skills. It is not difficult to have Lu water separated from the road. The ferry in front and bamboo rafts lead the way, and the Wei army set up a pontoon bridge behind. The horses could not get on the ferry, but they could pass through the pontoon bridge without any obstacles.

The Wei army set up a special boat bridge unit, and the materials for building the floating bridge were ready-made. As long as it was a river that was not too wide, the Wei army could successfully build the floating bridge in a very short time.

Jiang Wei saw the Wei army building a floating bridge. At that time, Jiang Wei's expression became severe. He was very afraid of the Wei army's actions to build a floating bridge, because Jiang Wei knew that once the Wei army built the floating bridge, the Wei cavalry could rush over along the floating bridge, which would be a fatal blow to the Shu army's defense line.

Jiang Wei then ordered the Shu army to try every means to destroy the Wei army's floating bridge, but unfortunately the Wei army was quite perfect in protecting the floating bridge and did not give the Shu army the opportunity to actually contact the floating bridge, let alone let them destroy the floating bridge.

There are so many ferries and bamboo rafts in front, and the pontoon bridge is surrounded by countless ferries. The Shu army has no chance to approach the pontoon bridge. Even using bows and arrows is not enough, and it will be blocked by those ferries.

Seeing the floating bridge extending forward foot by foot, the Shu army could only watch helplessly, and they could do nothing. After the cavalry roared to the shore, these Shu army fled everywhere in a mess, and could not match it at all.

Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Jiang Wei immediately ordered the Shu army to retreat across the board. Anyway, Jiang Fang could no longer defend, so if he persisted, he would only struggle unnecessary.

Moreover, Jiang Wei did not lead his army to retreat to the city of Jade Road. After all, Jade Road is just a small city, and the city defense is simple. If the Shu army retreats to the city of Jade Road, it will be surrounded by the Wei army. If the enemy fails to break through and cannot defend it, wouldn’t they have to wait for destruction?

So when Jiang Wei saw that the situation was unfavorable, he simply ordered the Shu army to retreat northward without any nostalgia.

At this time, there were not many Wei troops crossing the river, and the possibility of pursuing them was relatively small. Once the Wei army's large troops crossed the river, they would launch full pursuit. At that time, the Shu army would probably have no chance to escape.

After the Lushui defense line was lost, Jiang Wei could only consider retreating to Nan'an and building a new defense line in the Emei Mountain area to prevent the Wei army from attacking Chengdu. Although the Shu army was retreating step by step, Jiang Wei still did not give up. He would do his best to stop the Wei army whenever he had a breath.

After Jiang Wei retreated in the silence, Jiang Yang and Tanglang's defenders also gave up on Jiang defense and retreated towards Nan'an to meet with Jiang Wei.

The Wei army was much more relaxed when crossing the river next, but it did take some time for all the troops to cross the river. Even if they set up a floating bridge in the road to make the cavalry's crossing the river smoother, it took almost a day to cross the river just by crossing the river.

Later, the Guoqi Camp that attacked Jiangyang also returned. Although the Shu army in Jiangyang had given up on the defense of the river, there was no obstacle for the Guoqi Camp to cross the river, it was not enough to have a ferry alone. People could transport it, but the war horses and equipment were very sad to cross the river.

In the end, the Guoqi Camp gave up crossing the river directly in Jiangyang, but returned to the Wudao. At that time, the Xiaoqi Camp completed crossing the river. The Guoqi Camp also followed behind the Xiaoqi Camp and passed by one after another. It took another whole day to transport the entire Guoqi Camp across the river.

After the Guoqiying crossed the river, all the Wei army had already assembled on the north bank of Lushui. After Yang Hu crossed the river, of course, he had to understand Jiang Wei's whereabouts as soon as possible.

After seeing the situation passive, Jiang Wei did not get too entangled in the gains and losses of Wu Dao, but decisively gave up Wu Dao, Jiang Yang and Tang Lang, which was very consistent with Jiang Wei's usual style.

In terms of preserving his strength, Jiang Wei is indeed more smarter than others. Although the battle of the Battle of the Dao was fierce enough, the Shu army's damage was not too much, and Jiang Wei was able to escape unscathed.

Yang Hu soon knew where Jiang Wei was going, and learned that Jiang Wei led the remnants to Nan'an. However, Yang Hu did not rush to attack Nan'an, but sent the cavalry camp to advance east along the river and head straight to Jiangzhou.
